Slaughterbots are happening. They're probably already a thing.

Ummm....you not been looking at what's happening in Ukraine? There may not be AI involved (not yet anyway), but UAV munitions are now the way of combat now.

I pity the foot soldiers even more now. War is hell. War with drones strapped with high explosives chasing you down is hell on another level.

I've watched dozens of hours of drone footage on Ukraine. That is not what this is. The implications are nowhere near as far reaching.

The simple fact that very few people involved in the production and implementation of slaughterbots need to know what they actually are is terrifying.

If you think police profiling is bad, wait until it's AI profiling based on the prejudice of a few ultra wealthy people.

We don't have any kind of counter measure against these.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
